The Alesis AirFX can do that too, sort of.

Taking a pitchwheel from a synth won't really help you
with pitchbend, though, unless you then connect it to
some sort of pitchbending circuit. (ie. Whammy, Boss
PS-series, etc.)

Maybe one of your electronically-creative oriented
friends can find a source (Mouser, or someone like
that) for a spring-loaded, center detente wheel or
stick that you could mount in a small project case and
connect it to a pitchshift pedal's expression jack.
